Also, GHCi retains CAFs in the same way as Hugs, the difference is that GHCi can be configured to throw away the results after evaluation (:set +r).

If I set this flag, does GHCi discard CAFs during evaluation or at the end of evaluation? Or, to put it another way, do classic examples like module Main(main,primes) where main = print primes primes = ... leak space? -- Alastair
